Nigeria's social insurance fund boss, Oluwaseun Faleye, showed up at the international trade fair in Lagos and told everyone the agency handles claims when workplace accidents mess people up. The fund went through a bunch of upgrades over the past year with better transparency on processing claims, digital reporting channels, and stronger compliance checks across the country. Regional manager Agboma Okoroafor stood in for Faleye and said the Lagos region has thousands of employers already using the streamlined tech-driven system.
Faleye pushed the idea that protected workers equal thriving businesses, which supposedly leads to economic growth under President Tinubu's agenda. Vera Safiya Ndanusa from the trade fair complex board pointed out that tons of private and public sector employers ignore safety regulations even after getting trained by the ILO, and she wants more companies to actually use the employee compensation scheme instead of just nodding along.
